    I may have done that to a car or two who illegally parked in the shopping center lot we used to plow...

    Back in 1998 we had scenes like this where I used to live then:

    Good Lord Hakan!  The most we ever got was 4' about 10-11 years ago.  Two storms a week apart dumped 2' each and the result, even with the settling, packing that happens was waist deep snow.  We lost power for 5 days, thank God for fireplaces.  Trees started falling down from the weight.  I cut one up that was across my driveway in waist deep snow.  And that seems child's play compared to that picture!

    We had 5-6' in just a couple of days in early December 1998. The whole town (~60 000 people) was cut off for around five days before they cleared the railroad, roads and highways. No power loss, all the telecommunication including the internet, water etc. worked surprisingly enough the whole time while we were cut off. I live just a little further south now and when the people down here complains about snowfall, traffic problems it causes etc. I just tell them about this experience:

    Since we are showing pictures of snowy Mustangs, here's mine.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    We had 5' in less than a week a few years ago. It was getting to the point where I was running out of places to put it and would have hired someone with a front end loader and dump truck to take it away. Luckily, there were no more big storms that year after that.

    Hakan I'm guessing you didn't lose power because I noticed something missing in your pics: power poles and overhead lines.  Seems the Swedes are smart enough to bury their infrastructure...

    WOW, no way in hell I want to be around that much white stuff.
    My Mustang has saw dust on it from cutting plywood the other day for the attic. Might have to drive it around today to blow it off!!!

    Stuff that people from south Texas never, EVER had occur to them:

    I shall place a tall flag on my car sticking up high enough so I can find my car when it gets buried in a snowstorm.

    How many of you from snow country have ever been actually burned by a seat belt buckle, or an aluminum Hurst shifter handle?

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    We've been getting hit pretty good in Southern WI.  Suppose to have another storm tomorrow night.

    Re: Lt Dan found his mustang..

    Interestingly I drove my '67 both yesterday and the day before.  No snow, but very cold (high was 28-30, but vicious wind that made it feel like 10-0).  Wednesday night the battery light came on in my F250.  I got home, tested it, and determined that the alternator was bad.  To late to do anything about it, so I charged up both batteries so it would start and drive a little in the morning.  Got it started and got my son off to school, but only showing 11.6V and dropping I went back home.  Pulled the alternator in the driveway and decided to take the '67 to go get my free replacement (lifetime warranty Carquest, second one in two years, next time I get salty with them).  Battery in the '67 was dead.  Threw the battery from my WRX (which has no front end as I'm repairing the bodywork) in it, fired up, got my new alternator and a new battery for the '67 on the way home (7 years old, it was time).  Threw the alternator on the truck, got it running and it was charging fine so drove to work.

    Friday morning, truck wouldn't start.  Glow plugs just weren't getting it done (they are on the warmer weather list for replacement).  Plugged it in and used the and '67 to get my son off to school again.  After being plugged in for a half hour the truck fired up and drove the rest of the day without issue.

    Once again, the oldest, simplest car proves the most reliable.  Adding January I think I've now driven the '67 every month of the year.
